[@frankchen3033]

here’s notes to recap the video: 1. Pre-aiming common corners and trace corners by default 2. Peekers advantage in 1v1s 3. Running and gunning at close range 4. Accuracy reset is binary, let it fully reset before firing again 5. Spray only when caught out in the open 6. Don’t fire too soon, practice counter strafe 7. Dont ADS in close range, its viable only really with vandal one taps and bulldog/stinger at long ranges 8. Micro jiggles or jiggle peek when holding a corner 9. Use death match correctly, to warmup or to practice a specific part of aim

[@fauzan6953]

[@skyfeelan]

@@fauzan6953 after shooting, wait for the firing inaccuracy to fully reset, if you shoot too fast, it will still be inaccurate, thus, there is only two state of your gun recoil, accurate or inaccurate (binary), there is no inbetween

My guesses are A) Your aim is too used to other shooter games where one-shot headshots are rare unlike Valorant B) Center mass is a far bigger target so you’ll likely notice it before the head in most cases C) Hitting the head is really fucking hard compared to the head

for me, aiming in general is hard, I sometimes feel affected by screen tear and even without it, my crosshair seems to never be on the head even if its head level, I am pretty sure its my reaction time or the way they exit a corner. But I am pretty sure its just my aim in general and if i improve, i will finally be set to getting good elo ratings

well crosshair placement is more than just aiming on the head... it's also aiming on an angle they would be holding and it won't always be on their head

[@SpudNug69]

I've been playing console for 15 years and switched to PC about 18 months ago (only 3 months of FPS games though) and I'm really struggling to use my arm more and my wrist less so that my aim is less struttery. Hopefully this will pay off as I'm much worse in the short term

[@nguyenhongan]

I cant do crosshair placement ever and i have always had trouble with tracking, another thing i need help with is positioning because everytime i kill someone their teammates is at the angle to my left or right and i just die i really need help knowing what angles are safe. Edit: one last thing i also dont know why they always get so good when they fight me cause i get headshotted the instant i peak and when i spectate they miss every single bullet on my tm

[@nesrinmarshmallow3137]

Thanks! These were really helpful

[@B3ASTLYPLAYZ]

For reason number 6 the movement with the first bullet if you counter strafe from the direction you were moving (Example holding a you would then counter strafe by tapping d then shooting) it will make you 100% accurate and solve this problem and make you be able to shoot more accurate faster.

[@Dreko6_]

I've been trying to study aiming and it rly is a hard mechanic especially as a starter

[@Stupiditypoo]

I have one thing to say about the moving inaccuracy concept, I tend to ignore it just because I know that if I'm a stationary target then I'll be the first to die either way. Am I wrong?

[@joshuaturk3678]

Top recommend video. Well thanks skill gapped.

[@SavimusProductions]

I really struggle with long flicks. I can microflick okay since I built that skill on most FPS games just in case I peek a corner as the other player is peeking so I can flick and click their head. However, when I have to do a massive flick I shove to rely on spraying.

[@MondayDIFF]

I found myself drop shooting all the time as well as pulling down my mouse to control recoil but having good recoil control is key to winning gun fights so i unbinded crouch and almost straight away i started top fraging.

what mode should i use when i practice

[@liamhaldenby5504]

I really have been struggling to master strafe shooting. I've got the timing down *almost* to a tee and that's the issue. I'm trying to make my gameplay more consistent and my strafe shooting is anything but that. the timing is in my head but half the time I blank and either shoot too early or way too late. what do i do😭😭

[@klys2608]

ok so.. half of my deaths are from enemies that move before killing me. i keep spraying at moving enemies and when they stop moving (or IF they stop moving :/), my recoil is all messed up and i just die. but idk how to kill moving objects without spraying?

[@prikshitverma3885]

What about dpi n ingame mouse sensitivity ?

[@w1nther930]

actually there is one fact i think you didnt mention and thats the fact that there are some delay that can possibly ruin your shots. unlike Cs:go or even overwatch for that matter aiming feels more smooth as for valorant it feels very clunky and unatrual. the point of spray patterns and first shot bullets are to train muscle memory but in valorant most of these things are rng. not to mention some guns can still run and gun even with its nerf (primairly spectre now instead of stinger for me when i have no other option than to run and gun), and lets not forget about the animation glitch where it looks as though they are moving but stood still and got the not so perfectly accurate shot.

[@salmabassiony5998]

The techniques i totally suck at are shooting moving targets aka tracking and counter strafing.

[@kevinkchao8]

Personally I don't need to warm up before games. I like to exercise when I wake up and by the time I get on my hands are warm and my aim is just fine. Playing with cold hands however I notice a significant drop in headshot consistency.

[@jurekompara6396]

Peakers advantage is also a thing on LAN it has little to do with ping. If you are the one peeking you will be more ready to shoot/preefire than your opponent.

[@HustinoCND]

Not quite sure about this but none of the videos I've watched mentioned this: do the hardware (mouse itself) specs actually matter? I tried two different mice (mouse), both in 600 dpi. Is it just in my mind or the difference really matter between one having a 1000hz (1ms) and a 125hz USB poll rate?

[@muscularwave8573]

Yes the difference is massive 125hz is very sluggish for anybody that has used a mouse for longer than a few months

[@aMnezia]

it is not just about your aim actually, some agents have lower hit reg chance such as breach (most noticeable agent). So even though you aim at their heads the game just does not want you to kill or the game tries to give the enemy a chance. The reason for this is to balance the game since some agents are too overpowered and could be unfair. The game scores also matter for example you are winning hard say 11-1, you will always certainly feel your shots are not hitting anymore and the enemy team will start making a comeback (unless they are idiots who use a racing wheel joystick to aim).

Go into a death match, crank music so loud you can’t hear the game (that way you can’t rely on footstep audio and hold angles) and wide swing every corner.

You’re gonna hate life while you’re learning tho deathmatch is enough to drive anybody insane
